Application June 21, 1950, Serial No. 169,376

the actuation of the control means may be readily V accomplished by a person moving adjacent to the receptacle, thereby insuring the necessary distribution of the deodorizing material, with the least possible effort on the part of the operator.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating a wall receptacle constructed in accordance with the invention, showing a deodorizing material container as supported therein.

Fig. 2 is a sectional View taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmental perspective View of the upper portion of the container, illustrating the control lever thereof as disconnected from the 7 container. v

Referring to the drawing in detail, the receptacle comprises'a cylindrical body portion 5 which is secured to the supporting plate 6 by means of which'the device is secured to a supporting SUI? face.

The body portion is constructed preferably of plastic material, and is formed with an inwardly extended annular flange 1 providing a support for the container in which the deodorizing material is packaged, the container being indicated by the reference character 8.

The container is of a well known construction, and is provided with a cap 9 in which'a well known type of valve is housed, the valve being operable by a lateral pressure directed to the cap, to allow the deodorizing material, which is packaged under pressure, to exhaust through the nozzle H! of the cap.

As shown, the interior diameter of the wall receptacle, is slightly greater than the exterior 4 Claims. (01. 299 -95) 2 y diameter of the container 3, so that a slight rearward movement of the container within the receptacle or body portion 5, will be permitted, for purposes to be hereinafter more fully described.

The upper end ofthe wallr-eceptacleforbody portion 5 is open to permit the container to be readily positioned therein. 1

The reference character it indicates a cover plate for the wall receptacle, the plate l2 having a straight edge l3 formed along the rear thereof, which straight edge is adapted to fit against the forward surface of the supporting plate 0, adjacent to the top of the wall recepta-" cle. The plate is also provided with depending ribs M which fit against theinner surface of the wall receptacle holding the cover plate l2 in position. As shown, the front edge of the plate !2 is formed with a semicircular cut out portion it which is curved to fit against the movable cap 9 providing a stop, against which the cap 9 engages, when the device is operated to release a quantity of deodorizing material from the container.

At the front of the body portion 5, is an elongated opening I? and a lug I8, which lug I8 is transversely elongated and hollow as shown by Fig. 2 of the drawing, providing a keeper for the trunnions I9 formed on the upper end of the operating lever 20. The lug [8 has its lower portion cut away, so that the lever 20 may extend therethrough, as shown by Fig. 2. Secured to the inner surface of the lever 20, is the lug 2| that extends through the elongated section of the elongated opening I! contacting with the front wall of the container 8.

From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, when the container is positioned within the receptacle, the

[curved rear edge of the cap 9 will be disposed obvious that the cap 9 will be tilted forwardly operating the valvewithin the cap, whereupon.

the deodorizing material will be sprayed from the container. is obvious that the weight of the container will cause the container to assume a vertical position within the body portion, the cap and valve moving to their normal positions.

When the lever is released, it

Havin thus described the invention, what is claimed is:

1. A wall receptacle comprising a cylindrical body having an open upper end in which a container containing liquids under pressure, is held, the container having a release valve operated by lateral pressure directed thereto, a removable plate partially closing the upper end of the body, one edge of said plate engaging said valve, restricting rearward movement of said container held in the body, a lever mounted on the body engaging said container and said lever adapted to force the container rearwardly moving the valve against the plate effecting lateral movement of the valve operatin the valve and releasing material from the container.

2. A wall receptacle comprising a cylindrical body having an open upper end in which a container containing liquids under pressure, is held, the container embodying a releasing valve and nozzle, aplate extending across the open end of the cylindrical body, and means for moving the container within the body forcing the valve laterally against one edge of the plate effecting operation of said valve opening the valve and releasing material through said nozzle.

3. A wall receptacle comprising a cylindrical body having an open upper end in which a container containing liquids under pressure is held,

said container embodying a valve and nozzle con- 3 trolling the passage of material from the container operated by lateral pressure directed to the valve, means for tilting the container rearwardly, and a member mounted within the open upper end of the body, against which said valve engages directing lateral pressure to the Valve operating the valve releasing material through the nozzle.

4. A wall receptacle comprising a body having an open upper end in which a container containing liquids under pressure, is held, the container embodying a release valve opened by lateral pressure directed thereto, a stop plate against which said valve engages, a lever mounted on the body portion, a lug extending inwardly from the lever engaging said container, said lug effecting tilting movement of the container within the wall receptacle when the lever is pressed towards the container, whereby said valve is pressed against the stop plate opening the valve releasing material from the container.
